After chilling, use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out dough and roll into 2-inch balls (damp hands will help if the dough is sticky). Carefully drop onto prepared pans, leaving 2 ½ inches between each dough ball. Flatten cookies with a greased flat bottom of a glass (or just dip the bottom of the glass in water). Cookies should be about ¼-inch to ½-inch thick.

Bake cookies in preheated oven until puffed and just lightly golden around the edges (they should be pretty pale in color) for about 8-10 minutes. Allow cookies to fully cool on the pan (they will continue to bake while cooling) before frosting.

While the cookies cool, make the frosting. Using an electric mixer cream the butter then add the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until well incorporated. Slowly add the 2 tablespoons of milk while mixing on low, then increase speed to high and mix until smooth. If the frosting seems too thick add just a little more milk until you reach desired consistency. Color frosting as desired with gel food coloring.

Carrot Cake Cookies

unsalted butter

Domino® Golden Sugar

Domino® Dark Brown Sugar

egg egg eggs

cinnamon

ginger

nutmeg

carrots, grated

raisins, optional

cream cheese

Domino® Powdered Sugar

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.  In a large mixing bowl with a paddle attachment beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about two minutes. Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat until combined.

In a separate bowl sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and remove the bowl from the mixer.

Fold in the carrots and raisins until fully incorporated. Using a 1.5 ounce cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown and set, but the centers are still a little gooey.

To make the frosting, place the butter and cream cheese in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Whip the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add in the vanilla extract, salt, and powdered sugar and whip to combine, about 2 minutes more.
